About Outfitter

Troubleshooting

Lots of things can go wrong, but one of the most common is people having problems with Outfitter not working at all. Crazy stuff like tons of errors (if errors are enabled), or it won't change outfits, or the UI is a train wreck. This happens pretty much for one reason: Outfitter was updated while WoW was still running. Just restart WoW all the way from the desktop (not just from login) and it'll be happy again.

Why? Addons have a file called the Table of Contents which describes how WoW should load and start the addon. The problem is that WoW copies the ToC file into memory at startup and will never update it again as long as WoW is still running. If an addon update has changes to the ToC then WoW won't see those changes if it's still running while you update. Those changes to the ToC may include critical things like new files to be loaded. Without those files the addon likely can't even initialize itself correctly resulting in all those errors, mangled UI, etc.

Reporting Bugs

Feel free to report bugs in the comments section at the bottom of this page, but please don't paste in your bug/crash logs. Those logs are very large since they usually include the list of every addon you're running and that makes the post take a huge amount of screen space in the comments section. That, in turn, makes it very difficult for me to find previous questions and bug reports. Crash dumps are great and extremely useful, but please post them into a CurseForge ticket and then refer to that ticket in your comment so I know where to find it. Thanks!

About Outfitter

Outfitter is an equipment management addon which gives you fast access to multiple outfits to optimize your abilities in PvE and PvP, automated equip and unequip for convenience doing a variety of activities, or to enhance role-playing.

Outfitter includes an icon bar for fast access to your outfits, a minimap menu for fast compact access, support for LibDataBroker, scripting with a library of pre-made scripts for most common tasks, item comparisons across outfits, and more.

Note: With the WoD expansion the Ace librrary LibStatLogic is no longer supported, which means Outfitter can no longer generate outfits using stats. It does still support generating outfits using Pawn and WeightsWatcher (if WeightsWatcher is still around, I have no idea if it is), install one of those to use the outfit generation features.

I just have one problem with outfitter, I have a "naked" outfit. When changing from any normal outfit (all gear equipped) to this naked outfit, the game locks up for about 10 seconds then the outfit is changed. Is this a problem with outfitter itself or just me, since i removed all my saved variables, the addon itself and reinstalled it, still teh problem is there. using version 2.0a1

It's just WoW -- for some reason WoW 2.0 has more lag when changing equipment and the length of the spike seems to depend on how much you're swapping at once and possibly also on your computer's speed (not so sure about that though). I've made a macro to change a complete outfit and run it with no addons and it still lags (though for me the lag is only a second or two -- don't know why some people experience huge spikes). This problem has also been reported with Wardrobe and ItemRack so it's pretty clear that it's a WoW issue.

Does anyone know if there is a problem with remembering helm and cloak options? I'm using 1.5.2 and it's not remembering my cloak and helm setting on the outfits.

The option is per-helm or cloak, not per-outfit. If you choose to hide or show a particular helm it will always be hidden or shown whenever you're wearing regardless of which outfit it's in. I know that people would like a per-outfit option and I may add it eventually, but right now it works per-item.

Also, if I select a few outfits from the mini map menu it adds check marks to them and if I select a previously used outfit (with the check-mark) it removes the check-mark instead of changing to that outfit. Is that what layered outfit is? If so, how do I make it change to that outfit instead of just removing the check-mark?

Yes, that's the layering. Change the outfit type to Mix and Match instead of Accessory and it will always remove any other Mix-and-match or Accessory outfits when you wear it instead of just layering itself over/under them.

Others have noticed it too, I've not been able to reproduce it. People have tested out using other addons or scripts to equip their weapons and saw the same thing, so it seems like it's a bug in WoW. I don't know what causes it or why most people aren't affected but some are. If you ever figure out any additional info please let me know, I'd love to get to the bottom of this.

I have noticed that, when I swap wpns using the character screen, the game sometimes fails to recognize it. I have it equiped, I have the animation change, but when I fight, its like I am unarmed doing like 6 dmg/hit. I have unequip the item then equip it again.

Not sure if this behavior is from outfitter or a bug in WoW, but its very annoying. Not sure anyone else is seeing it.

- Scripts can be attached to an outfit to automate its behavior - Tooltips list the outfits in which an item is used - Outfits can be updated directly from currently equipped items - Support for Druid: Tree of Life in German versions - QuickSlots support dragging items
